Educational Q&A

Even after a 'just' victory, dharma requires humility and accountability toward those who suffer loss; moral authority in grief (Gāndhārī) must be approached with restraint and respect, not with triumphalism.

After receiving Dhṛtarāṣṭra’s consent, the Pāṇḍava brothers go together with Kṛṣṇa to meet Gāndhārī, setting the stage for her confrontation with the victors and the ethical reckoning that follows the war.
